Defensive Player of the Year Award Winner

1. player. 51. . Defensive Tackle. Los Angeles Rams. Aaron Donald

Stats: 26 tackles, 9 sacks, 3 forced fumbles & 1 fumble recovery

Hard to argue with this one. He is already a two time DPOY winning back in 2017 and 2018.Aaron Donald is the best defensive player in football. He’s a one man wrecking crew. He makes teams have to game plan for him and that’s not usual for an interior defensive lineman. He makes it fun to watch defense. I would hate playing against him as he’s always in your face.

He’s not the biggest guy on the field but he works harder than anyone else. You can see that easily with all of the offseason workout videos that are posted of Donald. He will go down as one of the best defensive players of our generation. I gave him the slight edge over Myles Garrett just because of his impact on the field. It is neck and neck but Aaron Donald does all of this from the inside, as opposed to Garrett who rushes on the outside.

You couldn’t go wrong with either guy, but I’ll choose Aaron Donald because I can count on this man week in and week out to wreck the opponent’s offense.
